Benefits of technology

This patent is about creating a system that can recognize the content of audio information and display pre-defined specific operation information on a screen if a specific keyword is recognized. This allows users to easily operate the target device without having to search through menus or find specific settings.

Problems solved by technology

Conventionally, when an interactive operation procedure is used for operating target apparatuses (e.g., image forming apparatuses) using voice sound as instructions to the target apparatuses, users not familiar with voice-based operations may instruct a job to the target apparatuses by answering every one of the setting conditions inquired from the target apparatuses one by one, causing a longer time to execute the job using the target apparatuses.

first embodiment

System Configuration:

[0039]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example system configuration of an audio-based operation system according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the audio-based operation system can be configured by connecting a plurality of apparatuses or devices, such as a multifunction peripheral (MFP) 1 (an example of target apparatus), a mobile terminal 2 (an example of information processing apparatus), such as smart phone or tablet terminal, an audio recognition server 3, and an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant server 4 via a network 5, such as local area network (LAN). The target apparatus is not limited to the multifunction peripheral (MFP) but can be a variety of electronic apparatuses and devices including office apparatuses, such as electronic information board and projector.

[0040]The mobile terminal 2 receives an audio (e.g., voice), input by a user, to perform an audio-based operation (audio-use operation) of the ...

second embodiment

[0193]Hereinafter, a description is given of a second embodiment. Different from the first embodiment, the second embodiment uses a smart speaker in place of the mobile terminal 2. In the description of the second embodiment, the description of the same part as the first embodiment will be omitted, and a description will be given of a different part from the first embodiment.

[0194]FIG. 17 is an example diagram of a system configuration of an audio-based operation system according to the second embodiment. As indicated in FIG. 17, the audio-based operation system uses a smart speaker 50 (an example of information processing apparatus) in place of the mobile terminal 2 described in FIG. 1. The smart speaker, known as artificial intelligent (AI) speaker, is a speaker having an AI assistant function that supports an interactive audio-based operation or audio-use operation.

[0195]As indicated in FIG. 17, the audio-based operation system is configured by connecting a plurality of apparatus...

Abstract

An information processing system includes circuitry configured to acquire audio information used for operating a target apparatus, recognize content of the acquired audio information as a recognition result, determine whether the recognition result includes a specific keyword, notify, using a display, pre-defined specific operation when the recognition result includes the specific keyword, and output the specific operation information to the target apparatus.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-226144, filed on Nov. 30, 2018 in the Japan Patent Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]This disclosure relates to an information processing system, a method of processing information, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing program codes for causing a computer to execute a method of processing information.Background Art[0003]Some image forming apparatuses, such as multifunction peripherals (MFP) can use voice sound as instructions to operate the image forming apparatuses. Conventionally, when an interactive operation procedure is used for operating target apparatuses (e.g., image forming apparatuses) using voice sound as instructions to the target apparatuses, users not familiar with voice-based operations may instruct a job to the target...
